I am not sure if I am remembering this correctly, but didn?t they mention something about Brody & Raffy not being able to come up because Raffy had some kind of appointment/medical treatment etc??

Anyway, at Aust pace, last week Tori & Christian went to Melbourne so Tori could finally introduce him to Brody & Raffy (& apparently he met their approval!).

Would of been nice if they invited some of Christians family too or do only people with no extended family like parents etc not exist outside of Summer Bay?

Fighting with Leah AND for his life! Home And Away?s Justin is in huge trouble in shock new teaser
The couple are torn apart - could it be for good?

https://www.nowtolove.com.au/celebri...tin-leah-67284

To say Summer Bay favourites Justin and Leah are having a rough time would be a dire understatement.

Having lost what is essentially their life savings, $90,000, the money intended for their house deposit, the couple are in panic mode.

"They want a place of their own where they can start creating memories together," Ada, 43, tells TV WEEK.

"They have the money. Cue real estate agent Susie, who helped them find a home."

But when the bank knocked back their loan application, Susie convinced the couple to go with a private lender before taking off with the cash.

It seems things are only set to get worse for the couple.

The stress of Susie's deceit and theft of their money has Justin and Leah at odds in a tantalising new teaser for upcoming episodes.

At one another's throats over the loss, the situation threatens to tear the couple apart.

"You didn't listen!" Leah screams at Justin, who abruptly responds: "You blame me, don't you?"

YIKES.

Things somehow go from very bad to deadly in a matter of moments.

"They need each other more than ever but things are about to take another unlucky turn for Justin and Leah. 😨" the Instagram post reads.

As an angry Justin heads out in to the surf to cool off, Leah follows him down to the beach.

Distracted and stewing on his anger Justin is suddenly hit from the side by a huge wave. Knocked from his board the surfer is pummelled by waves and struggles to make it to the surface.

From the shoreline Leah screams out in horror.

Home And Away favourite Justin?s life is on the line when he suffers a shock overdose
''Justin instantly knows he?s overdone it.''

https://www.nowtolove.com.au/celebri...overdose-67493

Justin's life is on the line after he accidentally overdoses on painkiller medication in heart-palpitating episodes of Home And Away this week.

Justin's (James Stewart) health problems can be traced to a recent near-fatal surfing accident, which has left him with severe back pain.

Desperate to be fit for the upcoming Summer Bay surfing contest, Justin upped the number of pills he was taking. Now, however, he finds himself feeding an ever-growing need for drugs.

"Justin is really excited to enter the surf comp and feeling good after taking the pain medication," James, 45, tells TV WEEK.

"But right before he enters, his back flares up again, which causes him to take more medication ? he knows that without it the pain will be too unbearable to compete."

His partner Leah (Ada Nicodemou), meanwhile, has been too distracted to notice Justin is in trouble.

In the wake of swindler Susie (Bridie Carter) cruelly stealing her and Justin's life savings, Leah has been obsessively tracking the fraudster's trail of destruction.

Later, when Justin is a no-show for his competition heat, Leah begins to panic. She rushes home to find a clammy Justin writhing in agony, having overdosed on painkiller medication.

"As he lies on the floor, Justin instantly knows he's overdone it," James explains. "But he desperately wants to feel like himself again."

Unable to see or think clearly, Justin is in all sorts of strife. But when Leah tries to get him to go to the hospital, his response is to snap angrily at her.

Can Leah get Justin the help he so clearly needs before it's too late?

Home and Away star James Stewart reveals new storyline is his "greatest challenge"
"It was my greatest challenge and my greatest privilege."

https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/hom...ing-storyline/

Home and Away spoilers follow.

Home and Away's Justin Morgan has been struggling with a painkiller addiction after a surfing accident.

Justin (James Stewart) has been dealing with extreme back pain and started taking medication for it. However, things escalated quickly and he became reliant on them, so much so that he also suffered a near-fatal overdose.

Speaking exclusively to Digital Spy, James said that Justin felt "like an idiot" after his surfing accident, explaining that he didn't go out on the water anticipating to hurt himself.

James also explained that this storyline is one of the biggest topics he's ever portrayed in his acting career.

"To be honest, my initial reaction was it's an honour to tell the story of people who have actually been through this and there's a long list. Whether it be prescription medication or any sort of medication," James said.

"Some of the very best people in the world have had their trouble. To get given this storyline at Home and Away it was my greatest challenge and my greatest privilege. I really went at this one!"

When asked about whether Justin has considered the consequences of overmedicating, James said Justin hasn't, specifically because when he takes the medication he can carry on living his normal life.

James said: "It doesn't seem like a consequence to him and that's the very difficult problem. That's where the problem is. Any great doctor or rehabilitation specialist would tell you; you've got to suss out that pain, let the pain come, learn to live with that pain and it must be absolute agony for some of those guys. I can't imagine and I can imagine why you would become addicted to painkillers."

Speaking about tackling an important subject matter, James said that he "absolutely loved" this storyline.

"I absolutely loved this. I did at least a decade of Shakespeare with the Great Shakespearian Company here in Australia that Geoffrey Rush began, and Shakespeare wrote some pretty big topics, so I'm pretty used to big scale topics and big voice," James explained.

"I don't mind being up in the back of a scene, making a cup of tea and then walking out the back door, but I really love sinking my teeth into something that might change someone's life, just slightly."

Home and Away airs weekdays at 1.15pm and 6pm on Channel 5 (UK) and Mondays to Thursdays at 7pm on Channel 7 (Australia). Selected classic episodes are available via Amazon Prime Video in the UK.

Home and Away's Ziggy Astoni to be sacked by Justin Morgan
His drug addiction escalates.

https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/hom...justin-morgan/

Home and Away spoilers follow.

Justin Morgan's addiction to painkillers is escalating this week on Home and Away in Australia, leading to him sacking Ziggy Astoni.

We have seen Justin (James Stewart) grow dependent on drugs recently after a surfing injury left him in considerable pain. But his addiction is starting to have devastating effects on his mental state and his behaviour is affecting those around him, too.

In scenes that will air this week in Australia, and in early July on Channel 5 in the UK, Ziggy (Sophie Dillman) starts seeing that there is something going on with her boss.

When she tries to approach the matter with him, Justin flies off the handle and fires her on the spot.

What Ziggy doesn't know is that Justin is experiencing tension with Leah (Ada Nicodemou) as well because of his addiction.

As the drugs slowly consume him, the situation becomes enough for Leah when she finds her partner's secret stash of pills.

She demands an answer from him about what is going on, but she doesn't buy his excuses and feels like she is losing him.

In an interview with TV Week, actor Stewart said: "Justin is caught out ? he's like a deer in the headlights.

"He has to think quickly to keep his stash or lose it."

The pair have it out once more, and when Justin loses his cool, he shoves all his supply of drugs down the sink in an attempt to keep Leah.

But when she flees after his outbursts, he doesn't go after her, instead heading back to the bathroom trying to retrieve some of the crushed-up medication.

"We can all acknowledge he needs to take responsibility for his actions and try to find his way out of this," added James.

But will he? And who else is going to get hurt in the process?

Home and Away airs weekdays at 1.15pm and 6pm on Channel 5 (UK) and Mondays to Thursdays at 7pm on Channel 7 (Australia). Selected classic episodes are available via Amazon Prime Video in the UK.

Drug despair!

Justin overdoses on dodgy drugs he bought online in this week's nerve-racking episodes. It's not the first time he's overdosed on painkillers ? but will it be his last?

What started as treatment for a surfing accident has turned into a full-blown addiction to painkillers for Justin (James Stewart). On the surface, he appears to be doing all he can to kick his habit, this week telling Leah (Ada Nicodemou) he has a new doctor who is helping him go cold turkey.

But this is a big lie. Once Leah leaves the garage, Justin gets the shakes and wearily takes some of his dwindling supply of drugs.

"Things are definitely getting a bit too much for Justin," James, 45, tells TV WEEK.

"He's using any excuse to be able to behave like a victim and get medication."

When Ziggy (Sophie Dillman) shows up at the garage, hoping to get her job back after an erratic Justin fired her, he's almost busted ordering more pain meds online.

Ziggy demands to know why he fired her ? and Justin lies, telling her she stuffed up a job.

His painkillers arrive in the mail and Justin gets his fix ? and then he greedily takes even more until ? Leah finds him slumped in the garage.

Will he live?
